Sources - End Dates

Many of our 08-09 sources had end dates of 6/30/09 so now if we try to post gifts for last fiscal year, those sources are not available. I'm thinking of eliminating the end dates for our 08-09 sources all together and chaging them to 00/00/0000. Can anyone forsee a problem with this strategy?

    Hi Margaret,

    Changing the end dates (or zeroing them out) should not be a problem.  Just make sure that you also change the date for the overall appeal as well as the source codes.

    I do keep an end date on our sources because we do eventually stop using them.  But you're right; as long as your appeal is still active it's fine to change the dates to reflect this.  Your appeal for 08-09 can last longer than your campaign for the same year.
